allowing a slur to be aired on national television during black history month was definitely a fucking choice i’ll say that much.

@achilloclus !!!! it’s someone around him or himself that had that in their rolodex. also the whole apology being “if you feel uncomfortable about it then i’m sorry” WHO WOULDNT feel uncomfortable?!? like i’m so sick of this narrative that it’s a forced apology and a “i mean if it makes you feel better.” we don’t want that we want an actual apology because we all know it’s wrong and that’s the problem.

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH! to all of my fellow
black writers/readers we’ve been through so much
and manage to handle it all with grace.

sometimes i think about how there are more fanfics about the colonizing white man that wants to steal black voices and culture for his own personal gain rather than fanfics about the black people the movie is actually about and sigh. yes this is about sinners.

@wiredjaws THIS. Part of the reason I loved Sinners so much was because the movie was so unapologetically black. I loved how the characters were written and really appreciated the work and research that went into the story. I'm from the south too so it was cool to see a director accurately portray southern black culture the RIGHT way. Cuz southern black culture and white southern culture are two VERY different things. Somehow, all people could focus on were the white and white adjacent characters + what they added to the story. I knew people didn't get the meaning of the movie when I started seeing people sympathize more with Remmick than Elijah and Elias or even Grace. It's not even about "who had it worse", it's really about how people treat black characters in popular pieces of media versus white characters. Every time we get a story with a black or poc lead, somehow, the white side characters always end up getting more attention. But if you point any of it out, people'll call you crazy or tell you to stop making everything about race...
